Cartridge for Thorens TD-160


I just bought a solid looking TD-160, my first foray in vinyl in about twenty years. It's all stock, including the arm. Anyone have any suggestions for good, reasonably priced cartridge? $2-400 range? Anyone ever use a Sumiko Blue Point Special on one of these things? Shure carts seems popular too. Thanks

You got your 160! Congrats! I hope that you really enjoy it. I like high compliance MM cartidges in this arm, AT440MLa and 150MLX, the new Ortofons, and of course, the Shures. Tvad is offering you a great match to this table and you should consider taking him up on it - I certainly would. If you seek a new Shure, it's pretty much limited to the M97xE. Best of luck and welcome back.
The best gravy is Armour Brown Gravy, but if you are just looking for "good" gravy, the stuff in the packets at your local super should be just fine. Much easier to pack and ship than the table.
I stand corrected (you don't think that I would argue with mom's gravy, now do you)?
